October 20th, at 5 P.M.

The schooner Fantee, of Hamburg, bound from that port to Shields, was wrecked on the Tay Bank, 8 miles to leeward of St.

Andrew's. It was blowing a gale from the S.E. with, as usual under such circum- stances, heavy breakers on the bank. The Life-boat Ladies' Own was launched from St. Andrew's, and, running to leeward under sail, with the intention of ulti- mately boarding the wreck, got close enough to her to ascertain that help was being afforded from the River Tay Life- boat and steam-tug, which were able to operate from the side of the bank, with less danger to themselves. They thereupon hauled to the wind and beat back again to her station. The gallant intention of this Life-boat's crew, and the skill exhi- bited in the management of their boat, reflect great credit on them..
